Sorry, I am not clear on what's in your Line 2 (8889). What is the value there?
Did you have an excess HSA contribution carryover from 2022? If so, what was it?
What were your personal contributions? What were your employer contributions (code W in box 12 on the W-2)? What was your HDHP coverage?
"Line 2 shows the total from carry-over year. The value is all past TurboTax filings has a 0.00 balance in this space. "
At this point, Line 2 should show the HSA carryover PLUS any personal contributions you made.
HOWEVER, this is a change from previous years, because in previous years, TurboTax mentally put the carryover in Line 2 but did not print it. The IRS never explained what they want tax software processors to do in this case on the 8889.
However, about three weeks ago, the IRS added a new check in the e-file process, to see if line 13 was equal to the smaller of Line 2 or Line 12. In the case of a carryover, this did not appear to be true (although Line 13 was still correct). This caused a number of e-file to reject. As a result, TurboTax was required to start printing the value in Line 2, so whereas you may have seen blank in previous years, you won't any longer.
Does this address what you are seeing?
P.S., let's try to keep our conversation to one thread - that is why I am not answering your other thread at https://ttlc.intuit.com/community/taxes/discussion/re-form-5329-line-47-error/01/3215361#M1182396
